Verity Gough CAPG

Forest Canine Grooming Ltd is based in Coleford in the heart of the Forest of Dean. I have a specially designed smart pod that provides a safe and friendly grooming environment for the comfort and welfare of your beloved dog. 

​

I have trained at the UK's North No1 Canine Grooming School at Howgill farm in Lancashire, gaining City & Guilds Level 3 Dog Grooming Diploma, Open College Network (OCN) level 3 Dog Grooming Diploma and Canine First Aid Certified. I am certified with the International Professional Groomers Inc. (IPG) as a Certified Advanced Professional Groomer (CAPG). I am always learning about new care & styling techniques and pride myself on improving my skill set, working towards becoming an International Certified Master Groomer (ICMG).

​

My passion is dogs, ensuring their welfare is my highest priority with a professional and reliable service dog owners can count on. I believe in grooming without fear or force, therefore I am learning the skills & techniques of Tellington Touch and Animal Centred Education (ACE) Free Work to make the grooming experience a happy one for your dog. I am willing to work with dogs that find the grooming experience difficult, this may involve extra sessions in-between grooms to de-sensitise them and patience from both you and me. Together we can create a plan that best suits you and your dog to ensure their welfare needs are always the highest priority, all dogs deserve to have a happy experience when getting their pamper.
